Can the 88W8987 device BLE radio support "Coded PHY" operation?
Is support for this possibly on the firmware roadmap?

Hi,

About long-range mode, it is supported by Bluetooth 5.1, the following chip support it.

---IW416

enables Bluetooth 5.1 capabilities including Low Energy (LE), LE long range and LE data
up to 2 Mbit/s.

---IW620

Bluetooth Low Energy Long Range

---88W9098

Bluetooth Low Energy Long Range

So please select those wifi/bt chips which support Bluetooth 5.1 !

Have a good day!
